Track 12

"Rider"

from the release Rave002

Artist statement:

"Rider" is taken from the second release on The Death Of Rave
imprint, a four-track 12" from Powell, and follows Mark Leckey's
soundtrack to his 1999 video installation, Fiorucci Made Me
Hardcore. Wire contributor Rory Gibb described the track
thus: ". . . A cavernous kickdrum-led shuffle buoyed by pulsating
low-end and static that percolates like bubbles through sparkling
liquid, it's scarred by a single scratchy guitar that carves
oblique hieroglyphics into its surface. Resolution and escape from
its endless monotone stomp are only provided by occasional lapses
down an energy level into terse stasis while, forced almost
cartoonishly into the foreground, a voice declares puckishly that
'I walk with a zombie!'. As single line statements of intent go,
it's hard to imagine one more fitting."
